Significance of the car salesman

Pink the car salesman’s name. He lives in apartment number six. I’m not exactly sure what his significance in the story is, but I predict that he will have an impact on Sonny’s life. Through out the story, ever since we were introduced to Pink, he has had a connection or taken a liking to Sonny. Whether Pink is a sincere character or not, we may soon find out. At first it seems as if Sonny isn’t sure how to feel about Pink, but he soon takes a liking towards him once they go on a joy ride together in the Bel-Air to get beer. I think Pink maybe a little conniving and sneaky. The main reason Pink even speaks to Sonny is so he can have Sonny listen in on Cloyd and Bud’s conversations. Pink wants Sonny to be a fly on the wall and bring back everything that is said about Pink. I predict that later in the story a fight or some kind of drama concerning Pink, Cloyd, and Sonny will occur. The reason Cloyd doesn’t like Pink is because Pink is always bringing African-Americans around Los Flores. Cloyd is racist and doesn’t want African-Americans anywhere near the apartments. Cloyd isn’t sure why Pink hangs around or converses with African-Americans so much but he doesn’t like it one bit. Later in the story we find out Pink is an albino, so this may stir things up a bit.
